resopalrabotnick Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 what card is it? if you're on a budget, what you can replace it with might not be worth the speed gain. save the cash and do a bigger upgrade later, or, depending on the rest of the box, save for a new comp;lete box.

Swimmer Posted August 8, 2005 CID Share Posted August 8, 2005 What motherboard model do you have? That will determine whether or not upgrading your current setup is worth the money.. The 1800+ is a decent chip.. I have the 2000+ and still use it as my main desktop.

Swimmer Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 Well is looks like it has 4xagp.. so if that is the motherboard then you could upgrade.. which would allow you use some of the most advanced graphic cards. What is your budget? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/6698-graphic-cards/#findComment-68660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

milchama Posted August 11, 2005 CID Share Posted August 11, 2005 with 4x agp I'd save the money and get the 9550 by ATI you can get it with 256 ram and its a lot cheaper than the Nvidia 6600 or the ATI 9600. The ATI 9550 has open GL 2.0 and Direct X 9 it will run everything ya want Battleild 2, halflife 2 etc. and its only $64 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814131243 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/6698-graphic-cards/#findComment-69659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
